This is related to my other post #984503

Here are a few photographs from this evening that I made today using the lens. I decided to do a first test using it wide open at f2.8 to reveal it's character.

You get to understand a lens by doing this, IMO, as you see how the bokeh looks with the sensor.

This would certinaly be different had I mounted it on a film body with a LTM, but I had this paird with my Fujfilm Xpro2 with an LTM adapter by Urth.

I'm rather suprised how well it works wide open. I'll continue to do more tests this week. But so far, I quite enjoy it. Thought about selling it but now I may keep it. We'll see...

Edited in Adobe Lightroom using the Version 1 calibration mode as well.

i like top right and bottom left. Sharpness falls off so elegantly towards the corners.

The photos are beautiful and the deal proved to be very advantageous.

I would really like to see these and other photos shared here on SN in high quality without compression. I don't know if it's a limitation of viewing them on a cell phone or if it's the site's own.

Edit: and also see the raw photos to see the lens performance

It may have been because I uploaded a "web sized" version of the photos, but yet again, perhaps stacker does compress a bit. Confirmation on this would be helpful...

You took some photos and then used Adobe Lightroom to modify color, light, and etc... ?

If so, why do you need to modify the original photo ?

may be it could be interesseting to show the original and the modify one ?

Post work is just a part of the photographic process.

Here is a before / after of one of the photographs so you may understand.

Exactly, color correction and other adjustments are part of the photographic process. Wanting to see the raw photo is fine to see aspects of the capture that only the raw file provides, but the raw photo is not a requirement, the treated photo is the art defined by the photographer.

A further extension of the photographic process

i did not want to offend you... it is just because with the technology nowadays i m still surprise that a bit of configuration on the camera and to be at the right time at the right moment is not enough as it was in the past at the end...

No offense taken my friend.

with your camera, can t you get the pic on the right ?

7 sats \ 1 reply \ @PictureRoom OP 8h

No, there is always some adjustment needed. However, this comes down to taste.

oki dok :)

If you zoom in a bit, it will be a bit blurry, maybe because the quality is different, right? But the object taken is definitely very beautiful to look at.

Thank you. I did upload a "web sized" version of the files, so there may also be compression from Stacker upload.
